    Career Course Question

    Locked

    by drisnya ·

    I don’t want to take up too much time but I have to consider what it is I want to do when I grow up.

    I was recently laid off. I have desktop hardware support and a bit of network support experience and I’m not a big fan of either aspect. I’d rather dive head first into a wood chipper than do desktop hardware support any longer.

    I took a course in “C” a few years ago and loved it but I didn’t continue it. The question I have is twofold: Programming or Web?

    I’ve started messing with Python but I’m wondering if I should pursue further some HTML (web) development?

    If Web…I was told to acquire skills in HTML and CSS then work with a WYSIWYG app like Joomla, for example…

    If programming, is there a future learning Python? Is Python a good start and does it make someone marketable? What other languages do you build on after this?

    Any advice/feedback is appreciated.

      Why not go .Net

      Why not go .Net. I just left a meeting with a consulting company where they are using .Net and it appears to be a great Web based strategy.

        I gave that some thought, gario…

        but does it cost an arm and a leg to get started? Do you have to purchase a bunch of stuff from MS?…

        Is there a foundational language you should have a good knowledge of before you dive into .net?
